Afghanistan:
Video Shows Drunk, Stoned US Defense Contractors

Video

October 18, 2012 "Information

- Cellphone
footage obtained exclusively by
ABC appears to show a group of drunken, stoned U.S. security
contractors in the Afghan capital of Kabul.

In the
video, a bare-chested man identified as a security manager
working for Jorge Scientific hobbles around, barely conscious in
front of the camera. A second man, who is said to be the
company's medical officer, stares into the lens, apparently
under influence of drugs.

ABC
reports that Jorge Scientific
had won a $47 million U.S. government contract to train
Afghan police. The network says it obtained the video from two
former employees of the company, who claim similar incidents
occurred frequently.

The
contractor, Virginia-based Jorge Scientific, has won almost $1
billion in U.S. government contracts.
